Presentation 5/25/2015 Australian Plants v Herbicides ‘What is most intriguing is that the greatest higher plant, species diversity is found on the most Phosphate impoverished soils on the south-western Australian sand plains and is known as the kwongan vegetation’ (Professor Hans Lambers) ‘In Australia there is actually very little data on pesticide use and environmental impact. This makes it difficult to judge how Australia is tracking against other countries, and how our flora and fauna are responding with continued exposure to these toxins’. (Croplife, Australia) Broad-spectrum pesticides are some of the cheapest chemicals in Australia costing only A$1.50 per hectare to apply in grain crops, making them an obvious choice. (Croplife, Australia) ‘There is no single list of banned chemicals, but several useful sources for information about restrictions on chemicals.’ (NICNAS, Australia) Dr. Mark Bundock Dr. Jason Stevens Professor Kingsley Dixon Unpredictable off- target effects of herbicides and adjuvants in bushland restoration Red/Green Kangaroo Paw 1 5/25/2015 Rationale Herbicides and adjuvants are routinely used to remove weeds. The main method of application is spraying a mixture of herbicides and adjuvants. Herbicides - good Agricultural knowledge base, but more limited when native systems are involved. Adjuvants - good knowledge base on their effects on herbicide uptake, but little information on phytotoxic effects in isolation. Objectives To separate the effects of herbicides and adjuvants on: Plant Growth: Germination Seedling emergence Growth, health and survival of seedlings Soil Environment: Persistence Nutrients Soil structure 2 5/25/2015 Study Species Anigozanthos manglesii Acacia pulchella Kunzea ericifolia Banksia grandis Austrostipa elegantissima Eucalyptus marginata Test Chemicals Name Common Name Use Agral 90 Nonyl phenol ethanoate Emulsifiers & surfactants Pulse wetter Polyether modified polysiloxane Wetter Wetter 1000 Alcohol Ethoxylate Wetter and spreader •Pre-emergence for broadleaf and grassy weeds Logran Triasulfuron •Post-emergence for broadleaf weeds.

Method Seeds were sown on sterile white sand in petri dishes. Each petri dish had 8ml of liquid added. Each chemical was added at 50%, 100% and 200% of field concentrations. 4 5/25/2015 Sample Results Agral applied to Kunzea ericifolia Lontrel applied to Banksia grandis 100 100 90 90 Agral 100 80 80 Lontrel 100 70 70 60 Control 60 Control 50 50 Germinants 40 40 % Germinants% 30 30 20 20 10 10 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 Time Time Chemicals applied at 100% Field application rates Agral is marketed as: Lontrel is marketed as: “““Increases wetting and improves “““For control of a wide range of spray coverage.

Discussion-Germination Red is a decrease in germination, Green is an increase in germination from control All chemicals, adjuvants or herbicides had an affect on the test species. In most cases the result was a decrease in germination. Adjuvants often had a greater impact than the herbicides 5 5/25/2015 Seedling Emergence Hypothesis: All chemicals will reduce emergence, lower seedling survivability and depress health in the trial species. Method Ten species, ten treatments, two soils, two depths, five replicates. Emergence was recorded weekly for 12 weeks. Observations Emergence with subsequent death was recorded. Condition/health of seedlings was recorded. Both ex-situ and in-situ experiments carried out.

Soil types Two soil types were tested in the study: Lateritic (Yarragil) Guildford sand Both are considered productive (by WA standards). 7 5/25/2015 Soil Types • Emergence was usually greater in sandy soils. • Emergence was usually greater for seeds sown at 2cm depth. • Herbicide had more significant effects in lateritic soil. Persistence Hypothesis: that chemicals will remain active in the soil for a period of weeks after application Method Ten species sown, ten treatments, two soils, five replicates. Seeds sown weekly for 4 weeks post spraying. Observation Emergence was recorded weekly for 12/16 weeks. Subsequent death was recorded. Condition/health of seedlings was recorded. 8 5/25/2015 Persistence Results Persistence of Agral on Banksia grandis in Persistence of Agral on Banksia grandis Lateritic soil in Sandy soil 100 100 90 90 80 80 70 70 60 60 Day 1 Emergence Day 1 50 Day 7 % 50 Day 7 Emergence % Day 14 40 40 Day 14 Day 21 30 30 Day 21 Control 20 Control 20 10 10 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10111213141516 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9101112 Time-Weeks Time-Weeks Initial emergence is delayed more in Lateritic than sandy soils.

Soil type had a strong bearing on the degree to which off- target plants were affected by the chemicals. Seed Burial depth altered the degree of effect a chemical had (but it was not consistent) . Being described as pre or post emergent or selective, did not preclude the chemical from affecting plants outside this description Take Home Message When chemical companies talk about off-target effects they are referring to crop species only. If you really want to know what the effect of herbicides and adjuvants will be, carry out trials! 10 5/25/2015 Australian Pesticides Use Over 8000 pesticide and veterinary products are registered for use in Australian agriculture, horticulture, livestock, forestry, commercial premises, parks, homes and gardens. More than 80 of these are prohibited 27 member countries of the European Union. This list includes 17 pesticides that are known, likely or probable carcinogens, 48 pesticides flagged as potential endocrine (hormone) disruptors. More than 20 are classified as either extremely or highly hazardous by the World Health Organisation. Three of the pesticides are subject to actions by International Conventions but are still used in Australia. (WWF, 2010) Australian Pesticides Use Nonyl phenol ethanoate (Agral®) is exempt from registration in Australia, whilst being banned by the EU. Atrazine®, an herbicide, is banned in 60 countries, but still currently registered for use in Australia. In Australia, if an adjuvant is pre-mixed with a herbicide, it does not need to be registered as it is not the ‘active’ ingredient. 11 5/25/2015 Acknowledgements Supervisors Dr. Jason Stevens (BGPA/UWA) Professor Kingsley Dixon (BGPA/UWA) Invaluable assistance/knowledge Bob Dixon (Manager Biodiversity Extension, BGPA) Steve Easton (Bushland Manager, BGPA) School of Plants Biology (University of Western Australia) Test Chemicals Name Common Name Chemical Composition Use Group Mode of action 600g/L nonyl phenol ethylene oxide Helps reduce the natural surface tension Agral 90 Non-ionic wetter emulsifiers & surfactants condensate of droplets .

News from the Nursery We are madly propagating at the moment, with many thousands of new cuttings putting their roots out and seedlings popping their heads up above the propagating mix. It is always an exciting time, as we experiment with seed from new species – sometimes they work, and sometimes we understand why we’ve never grown them before... New plants should start being put out into the sales area soon – fresh-faced little things ready to pop into the ground! We have recently purchased a further block of land from the ex-neighbours Jubilee Nursery, now sadly closed, that will give us a lot more flexibility and the ability to grow and store more plants. As mentioned last newsletter we have done some major revamping in the garden. A lot of work by all the staff has led to a much more open garden with a lovely Westringia brevifolia hedge (well, it will be a hedge when it grows a bit), another Micrantheum hexandrum Cream Cascade hedge-to-be, lots of Correas, Lomatias and Baueras. Where we sell a few forms of a particular species we have tried to plant examples of each so that we can show you what they are like.

  • Vegetation and the Australian Alps Factsheet
    vegetation in THE AUSTRALIAN ALPS Plants provide Aboriginal people with food, fibre, medicine, shelter and tools. Most plants have a song, story, dance and ceremony associated with it. Each plant also has a group of people who have a responsibil- ity to care for and control the use of that plant and the animals linked to it. Only women use some plants while others are associated with men. Plants are used in a similar, if not the same way, wherever they grow across Australia. For example, eucalypts provide weapons and utensils, shelter, firewood, charcoal for art and sap for medicine and tanning skins. Plants that grow at high altitudes are only accessible during summer and this is why there were large gatherings of Aboriginal people in the mountains during the warmer months. The Australian Alps provided a plentiful supply of seeds, berries, nectar and roots to eat and a supply of medicines that were not available at lower altitudes. The bark of some shrubs were used to make string nets to catch Bogong Moths and plants also provided shelter and food for a variety of animals that were also useful to Aboriginal people. The life cycle of some plants indicate the availability of food resources elsewhere and sometimes dictated text: Rod Mason the movement of people. For example, the end of the flowering season of one species may indicate that illustration: Jim Williams it was time for one group of people to leave an area and another to arrive or a certain species of wattle flowering indicates fish are plentiful somewhere else.

  • A Revision of the Genus Kunzea (Myrtaceae) I
    J. Adelaide Bot. Gard. 17: 29-106 (1996) A REVISION OF THE GENUS KUNZEA (MYRTACEAE) I. THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN SECTION ZEA1VUK H.R. Toelken State Herbarium of South Australia, Botanic Gardens of Adelaide North Terrace, Adelaide, South Australia 5000 Abstract Within Kunzea sect. Zeanuk, 21 species in three subsections are described and accompanied by discussion on their affinities based on morphological and anatomical evidence. Numerous natural putative hybrids are briefly discussed under the taxon placed first in the hybrid formulae. The paper includes publication of (a) 16 new taxa: sect. Zeanuk, subsect. Arborescentes, subsect. Floridae, subsect. Globosae, K acuminata, K.ciliata, K. cincinnata, K clavata, K. glabrescens, K. newbeyi, K. rostrata, K similis, K. spathulata, K. ericifolia (Sm.)Rchb. ex Heynh. subsp. subulata, K. micrantha Schauer subsp. hirtiflora and subsp. petiolata, and (b) one new combination: K. micrantha Schauer subsp. oligandra (Turcz.)Toelken. Introduction Schauer(1844) distinguished seven species of Kunzea from Western Australia in the first volume on plants collected by Preiss, and described an eighth in the second volume (Schauer 1848). Bentham (1867) rearranged the species and placed most of them in his sect. Eukunzea, which largely agrees with the present sect. Zeanuk except that it is no longer considered to be the typical section of the genus, because, when Kzinzea was conserved (Toelken 1981, 1981a), K capitata, from eastern Australia, was selected as the type of the genus. Reichenbach (1828) in his original use of the genus Kunzea referred to three species. Kunzea capitata was selected as the type in preference to K ericifolia and K corifolia (now K ambigua), because it has at all stages a capitate stigma, the distinguishing character used in the original publication.

  • Landcorp Denmark East Development Precinct Flora and Fauna Survey
    LandCorp Denmark East Development Precinct Flora and Fauna Survey October 2016 Executive summary Introduction Through the Royalties for Regions “Growing our South” initiative, the Shire of Denmark has received funding to provide a second crossing of the Denmark River, to upgrade approximately 6.5 km of local roads and to support the delivery of an industrial estate adjacent to McIntosh Road. GHD Pty Ltd (GHD) was commissioned by LandCorp to undertake a biological assessment of the project survey area. The purpose of the assessment was to identify and describe flora, vegetation and fauna within the survey area. The outcomes of the assessment will be used in the environmental assessment and approvals process and will identify the possible need for, and scope of, further field investigations will inform environmental impact assessment of the road upgrades. The survey area is approximately 68.5 ha in area and includes a broad area of land between Scotsdale Road and the Denmark River and the road reserve and adjacent land along East River Road and McIntosh Road between the Denmark Mt Barker Road and South Western Highway. A 200 m section north and south along the Denmark Mt Barker Road from East River Road was also surveyed. The biological assessment involved a desktop review and three separate field surveys, including a winter flora and fauna survey, spring flora and fauna survey and spring nocturnal fauna survey. Fauna surveys also included the use of movement sensitive cameras in key locations. Key biological aspects The key biological aspects and constraints identified for the survey area are summarised in the following table.

  • C. E. H. Ostenfelds's Western Australian Plants in the Herbarium
    C. E. H. OSTENFELD'S WESTERN AUSTRALIAN PLANTS IN THE HERBARIUM, NATIONAL BOTANIC GARDENS, GLASNEVIN. E. CHARLES NELSON and MARY J. P. SCANNELL National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, Dublin 9, Ireland. Glasra 2: 1–24. publication date 5. v. 1978 ABSTRACT Carl Ostenfeld, a Danish botanist, made a large collection of plants in Western Australia in 1914. A partial set of his specimens is housed in the National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin (DBN); the specimens are catalogued and important specimens, including isotypes, are noted. INTRODUCTION In 1922, the National Museum (of Science and Art), Dublin purchased a partial set of Ostenfeld's collection of Western Australian plants (Plantae ex Australia occidentali). The collection of about 670 numbers was registered under number 448, but was not then incorporated in the museum herbarium. After the amalgamation of the National Museum herbarium and the National Botanic Gardens' herbarium in 1970 at Glasnevin, the material was mounted and in 1976 it was incorporated in the herbarium (DBN) (see Taxon 1970). The appended catalogue of the material was made prior to incorporation. C. E. H. OSTENFELD-BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES Carl Emll Hansen Ostenfeld was born in 1873 in Randers, Denmark, and graduated from the University of Copenhagen. He was Keeper of the Botanical Museum, Copenhagen, from 1900 until 1918 when he became Professor of Botany at the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University, Copenhagen. In 1923 he was appointed Professor of Botany at the University of Copenhagen and thus also Director of the Botanical Garden, Copenhagen (Olrik 1974, Skovsted 1974, Hansen 1974). Ostenfeld died in 1931. In 1914, Ostenfeld was invited to visit Australia by the British Association for the Advancement of Science, to take part in the annual meetings which were held in the capital cities of the different Australian states.
